hey guys, so I just finished my rebuild on my 95 gst with a 98 motor (changed the cam gears to the 95 for the cas). I used a topline rebuild kit with new lower compression pistons, cometic head gasket, ARP head studs, new lifters for the head, had the whole block boiled, milled and honed, crank redone... basically did everything how you're supposed to, and I started it up for the first time last night with coolant in it for about 30sec to a minute. I shut it off and its just pissing what looks like oil and coolant all over my floor. It looks like i blew the head gasket but its BRAND NEW and everything was torqued down 100% correctly. Does anyone have any ideas of something else it could be? Thanx for your help in advance guys.

Where's it coming from? Do you have a water cooled turbo? And if so, are your oil and coolant lines hooked up correctly from the turbo/oil filter housing/block etc?

i just have a 16g on there for now but everything seems to be fine, the "gunk" seems to be coming somewhere from the crank side because my timing belt was covered in it, and the puddle is on that side

Have you checked the frontcase seal/gasket? Take the Timing cover off and inspect it closely...

If the leaks seem to be coming from the driverside area, thats your best bet, along with the waterpump

Did you eliminate your balance shafts? If so, did you put a bolt in the whole on the timing cover with RTV where I think a pully would normally go? As well as a freeze plug where the gear for the front balance shaft would be.
